It says officers were on the scene investigating that assault when they were informed that a man had attempted to rape a woman on a nearby bike trail just under Business 80, south of the American River. They determined it was the same suspect in both attacks.

Officers on the ground and by helicopter searched the area extensively but didn’t locate the man.

The department on Monday released the man’s photograph and asked for the public’s help identifying him.

A shooting outside a Laurel District bar in East Oakland early Saturday left one man dead and four other people wounded, culminating a six-hour period of violence that saw another man killed and three other people wounded in separate incidents, authorities said.
